Trying to do some OO Python with files in different directories.
I have a blank __init__.py in each directory.
It is my assumption that having an __init__.py marks the directory as a module.
I am trying to run Controller.py from the command line.
I would assume this has already been solved but could not find in forum
I am somewhat new to Python. Using Python3 under Ubuntu.
...
So I have a project structure as follows:
...
ProjectX (root folder)
__init__.py
Controller.py
+ service (folder under ProjectX)
__init__.py
SystemSetup.py (has a class SystemSetup)
+ model (folder under ProjectX)
__init__.py
Directory.py (has a class Directory)
In Controller.py if I want to use SystemSetup class, I do:
from service.SystemSetup import SystemSetup
...
and in Controller Class I have:
def main():
systemSetup = SystemSetup()
I get error:
File "Controller.py", line 4, in <module>
from service.SystemSetup import SystemSetup
ImportError: cannot import name SystemSetup
What am I doing wrong? I am running from the command line.
Do I need to set the project in PYTHONPATH first?
But if SystemSetup and Directory are in same directory as Controller I have no problems.
Your help would be highly appreciated.
...
Btw I also tried:
import sys, os.path
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), os.path.pardir)))
from service.SystemSetup import SystemSetup
...
No luck.
Thank you again.
